  1. The Italian hang glider is something I’d not see before. Looks like a semi-rigid wing surface rather than just tensioned cloth. In the past, many of the fatalities happened when the glider was flipped inverted and the pilot fell into the wing and it collapsed around him/her. I wonder if that one is more recoverable in such a flip.

  2. I lost track of the number of gratuitous expletives and shut it off at the halfway mark. Put a sock in this vulgarian’s mouth.

  3. So Pete Butt-in-cheeks, says that if we all drove electric cars, gasoline prices would not matter.
    If there ever was a Marie Antoinette, “let them eat cake” moment, this was it.
    I suppose because AOC, who so famously told the world she is up to her neck in college loans, bought and drives a Tesla (minimum price 40K ? 50k?) anybody can.

    After watching and listening to those in our govt since joke bidet took office , I can now fully understand why in the past during revolutionary times in other nations, the firing squads were busy 24 / 7 for weeks on end.

  4. Electric cars need some energy source to fuel that electric station that recharges it. Buttigieg is just as ignorant of energy policy as John Kerry is of climate policy. We truly have the stupidest ruling class ever.

    I’d give him more credit for volunteering for Army intelligence and putting his chips on the table to run for mayor of his home town if his career in the private sector hadn’t been so truncated and if it didn’t seem as if his policy is Always Be Resumé Building.

    When you’re the mayor of a core city, job 1 is working to suppress street crime and it got worse on his watch. One suspects he’s Michael Dukakis 2.0; there were no efforts to combat street crime because that’s just not something which interests him or anyone with whom he spends time.

    And here he is in this job. He goes AWOL for two months right in the middle of the supply chain crisis. (The failed publicity stunt of him ‘biking’ to the office was amusing).

  6. “It’s great to see no one is diving or playing for free kicks in this version of soccer”. Indeed it is, my friends.

  7. Wow.

    Because Jussie Smollett could not stop for Justice, Justice kindly stopped for him. (Apologies to Emily Dickinson.)

    I did not expect it to be so immediate and satisfying. In fact I thought the scene below was a Babylon Bee-style parody.
    _________________________

    Notorious and convicted hate-hoaxer Jussie Smollett has been sentenced today to 150 days in jail, $120,000 in restitution, and a $25,000 fine. Before Smollett was taken away he started yelling, “I am not suicidal! If anything happens to me when I go in there I did not do it to myself.”

    “I did not do this,” he continued.

    Judge James Linn denied the defense’s motion for a new trial. He also denied the motion to stay the sentence until appeal. “I am not staying this,” said the judge. “This happens right here right now.” Smollett was led out of the court by police with his fist raised in the air.

    What exactly is a “fake race hoax”? As opposed, I guess, to an “authentic race hoax”…

    The world has changed … again.

    The blank check for social justice got canceled. Democrats, BLM and Antifa folks better pay attention.
